8 reviews for Zeitoun

  1. Alok Jangra

    I was completely engrossed in Zeitoun’s experiences. Eggers does an excellent job portraying the chaos and devastation of Katrina. Highly recommend this book!

  2. Kanishka Sharma

    Zeitoun’s bravery is inspiring, but the legal ordeal is frustrating to read. It highlights the injustices faced post-Katrina. Overall, a worthwhile but heavy book.

  3. Kaustub Ratan Pachoury

    Eggers masterfully tells Zeitoun’s harrowing tale. The book is well-written and thought-provoking, I would recommend. It will stay with you long after you finish.

  4. Rahul Kumar Singh

    While Zeitoun’s actions are admirable, the book felt somewhat slow-paced. The injustice he faced is infuriating, but the narrative could have been tighter.

  5. Tanishq Gupta

    An important story about the aftermath of Katrina and the human spirit. Some parts were hard to get through, but the book’s message is ultimately hopeful.

  6. Simran

    A truly moving account of one man’s experience during Katrina. While the writing style felt a bit detached at times, the story’s impact is undeniable.

  7. Shradha Chhatwal

    A mixed bag. Zeitoun’s courage is undeniable, but the writing felt a bit preachy at times. Still, a worthwhile read to understand the complexities of Katrina.

  8. S Anurag

    Zeitoun’s story is compelling, showcasing resilience during Katrina. The shift from hero to victim is jarring, but Eggers’ writing kept me hooked. A powerful, if unsettling, read.
